Redirecting error output

[pdV6]

Quick question if I may...

From a command prompt in Windows/Dos, you can redirect standard output to a file by using ">".

example said:

C:\\>MyApp.exe > output.txt

I'm sure you can do the same with error output but for the life of me I can't remember how.

Any ideas?

How are you running the command?

If you are running it from the dos prompt you should be able to do 'command > XXX.txt' and this output the execution/non execution of the command.

As you were. I found it.

In case anyone was interested (as if!), its:

C:\>Myapp.exe 2> output.txt

Yes - that's for the standard output of the command. I specifically needed the error output.
Anyway, I found it (see above).

Cheers.

time again.

To get both standard and error output into a file, you need to do

C:\>MyApp.exe > output.txt 2>&1

What fun.

Cool.

Ok, thanks.
